............but they're replaying an old series.......WHY??

Flicking channels this morning, found they were playing an old series (the one that had the 2 gay guys Team Guido, and the 2 bald frat guys).

All I've got to say is why would they bother replaying an old series, and why on Sunday morning?

Good to see the show back, but I won't bother watching it because I've seen the whole thing before (watched every ep when it was originally on).

Bring back a NEW series!!

Correct - it was ep 1 of season 1 this morning. Which is great because I've only ever seen season 1 it in small-screen downloaded format.

Carter: there is no new series yet - season 5 isn't slated to begin in the US until around July some time.

ok, I didn't know many of you haven't seen it so I won't spoil it...however Team Guido will quickly become your most hated & the 2 bald frat guys probably your favourite:)

I was watching it because it was on late earlier in the year. Not a bad time to put it on- have to tape it when the Footy Show returns.

I saw it and thought that I had just missed the new series of it. Then I noticed that it was exactly the same as a series I had seen before. Atleast now I get to see the whole thing this time I missed a few the first time it was on.

Oh god my sisters and I still walk around screaming "Lenny"... that poor, poor man.

My favourite bit is when Paul kicked the Eiffel Tower and one of the teams calling the Arc De Triomphe - the "Ark Dee Try-omp-pey"

Interesting episode today as Paul and Amy were eliminated after getting lost in the Tunisian desert.

Good on the frats for winning the leg and decieving team guido at the walkie-talkie detour

The lawyers were lucky they made up time after leaving the detour last

Interesting to note for others in the first series Phil only appears to eliminate a couple whilst in other series he is there to tell everyone where they finished.

I love this show

The story goes that being the first season, the producers weren't convinced they could get Phil to every pit stop ahead of the lead team and still have him do all the other bits and pieces they wanted like voiceovers and location shots. As a result, Phil showed up only for the team about to get 'Philiminated'. But come season two, the timing of everything was improved, and it added more tension when teams couldn't tell if they were last until they spoke to Phil.

According to TWOP (Television Without Pity) the 5th series was given the go ahead but as of today i've heard nothing. As it is on CBS i'd wait until survivor all-stars finishes then me might hear something

Do you really wanna watch the 3rd series again? I didn't know if i could watch FLO and her meltdowns again

That's good to read Mr Eagle

I guess what's great about thsis how is that the world is so big that you can keep going to different landmarks inthe world each series and you still won't see all of it.

Glad to hear season No 6 is a great chance of going ahead

She whinged WAY too much, and she gave up a lot during the series.

Italy-India

Great detour to start off wish Bike or glide

Great working by the frat boys to get the tickets to Milan by
stalling the train

It was a harrowing experience in New Delhi especially trying to do the road block

This is the last time we here "LENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY"

Poor Lenny, losing out on the amazing race when they are so close tot eh $1m prize and getting dumped on national and international tv
